IBI363 for advanced melanoma after standard treatment
This study tests a new drug called IBI363 for people with advanced melanoma that has progressed after standard treatment. It aims to see if IBI363 can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06066138RecruitingPhase 1
Trial: Adjusting Atezolizumab Dose Based on Drug Levels in Blood
This study tests whether adjusting the dose of the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab (Tecentriq) based on its levels in your blood works well. You may be able to join if you have advanced cancer and your doctor already plans to give you this drug (alone or with other approved treatments).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06060613RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Engineered immune cells for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called OBX-115, which uses a patient's own immune cells that are modified in a lab to better fight cancer. It is for people with advanced melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06070012RecruitingPhase 2
Tebentafusp for untreated metastatic uveal melanoma
This trial tests a new drug called tebentafusp for people with uveal melanoma that has spread to other parts of the body and who have not yet received any treatment for the metastatic disease. It requires a specific genetic marker (HLA-A*0201) and focuses on whether the drug can shrink or slow the growth of tumors.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06008106RecruitingPhase 3
Tunlametinib pill vs chemo for advanced NRAS melanoma
This trial tests a new pill called Tunlametinib (a MEK inhibitor) compared to standard chemotherapy for people with advanced melanoma that has a specific NRAS gene change and no longer responds to immunotherapy. It aims to see if the new pill works better or is safer than chemo.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07680699Recruiting
Early immunotherapy for high-risk stage II melanoma
This trial tests early anti-PD-1 therapy for people with stage IIB or IIC melanoma, or stage III (N1c). It aims to see if starting treatment sooner helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05983237RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Fluzoparib, Camrelizumab, and Temozolomide for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (Fluzoparib, Camrelizumab, and Temozolomide) for people with advanced melanoma that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It is for those who have a specific genetic change (HR or SF3B1 mutation) and have not been treated with a PARP inhibitor before.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05909618RecruitingPhase 2
Crizanlizumab with nivolumab for brain-spread melanoma or glioblastoma
This Phase 2 study tests crizanlizumab alone or with nivolumab to treat people with certain brain tumors that have spread to the brain (melanoma) or glioblastoma. The goal is to see whether this approach can control the disease and improve outcomes.
Ramat Gan, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT05893654Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Melphalan treatment to shrink eye melanoma before other therapy
This early-phase study tests whether melphalan can be used to reduce (shrink) a type of eye cancer called choroidal melanoma before additional treatment. It may help by controlling tumor size while doctors closely monitor the eye and outcomes.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05899465RecruitingPhase 3
Tranexamic acid during melanoma surgery to reduce bleeding
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps reduce bleeding) around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with invasive skin melanoma. It may help reduce surgical bleeding while keeping patients safe.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 18–80 - NCT05878977Recruiting
Testing biomarkers in immunotherapy for advanced melanoma
This trial looks at tissue and scan-related markers (“biomarkers”) to better understand how immunotherapy works in people with advanced melanoma. You may receive standard first-line immunotherapy, and your recent scans and health details will help researchers study why some people respond better than others.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT05868707RecruitingPhase 3
Tested OH2 injection for melanoma after standard treatments fail
This Phase 3 study tests OH2 injection in people with stage III or IV melanoma that has come back or spread after at least two prior treatment types. If you qualify, you may receive OH2 injection to help shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05867004Recruiting
Block TNF to boost immune response in melanoma
This study looks at using a drug that blocks TNF to help the immune system “wake up” better when using cancer immunotherapy for melanoma. You may be eligible only if you are already enrolled in two specific related trials.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT05830058RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided focused radiation for limited worsening lung, melanoma, kidney cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a PET scan to guide focused radiation (SBRT) can control a small number of cancer spots that are starting to grow despite prior treatment. It may help patients avoid wider radiation by targeting only the limited progressing areas.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05789043RecruitingPhase 3
Test of immunotherapy plus pills and chemotherapy for advanced melanoma
This Phase 3 trial tests camrelizumab (an immune-boosting medicine) combined with apatinib (a targeted pill) and temozolomide (chemotherapy) as first treatment for advanced acral melanoma. It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes compared with other standard first-line options.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05779423RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing tumor plus two immunotherapies for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether combining a local treatment that freezes a tumor (cryoablation) with two immune “checkpoint” medicines (ipilimumab and nivolumab) can better control unresectable melanoma. It may help when melanoma has grown after prior immune therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05733728Recruiting
Uveal melanoma medical record study
This study looks back at past medical records of people diagnosed with uveal melanoma. It helps researchers learn about the typical course of the disease by analyzing what already happened in care.
ViennaAges 18–99 - NCT05704647RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus relatlimab for melanoma in the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab plus relatlimab can shrink or control melanoma that has spread to the brain. It may help by boosting the immune system to attack the cancer, including melanoma in brain areas that can’t be treated with prior focused radiation.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05649683Recruiting
Blood immune testing to predict melanoma response to immunotherapy

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for melanoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 459 recruiting melanoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a melanoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a melanoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
